Depends on the places you want to work. From a "desperate and need work" level, you should be able to find a job; Austin is fast becoming a hot-spot for IT and development work. Competition-wise, it depends. A lot of start ups are in Austin, so age can be seen as a deterring factor; however, there are a lot of more "traditional" companies like IBM, HP, etc. that may be more inclined for experienced hires.

Like someone else mentioned, it will be difficult to hit your price/size range on housing in that location and with that sort of school quality requirement. I've lived in North and South Austin. South is a bit more... "cul-de-sac," and outdoors-y for lack of a better term, while North still gives you a bit of that city living experience being close to Round Rock, Pflugerville, etc. Unfortunately though, if you work downtown or have to commute, you will have to join all the other working people that do the same

I completely didn't realize how long these races were when I bought my Sunday ticket. Wanna have a little corgi puppy join you for a few hours? LOL (jk)
